If you’ve ever dealt with toenail fungus, you know how frustrating it can be. Over-the-counter treatments often fall short, and the infection seems to linger forever. Toenail fungus is notoriously difficult to treat, and it can be embarrassing to deal with.
Tolcylen Nail Renewal Solution might be the answer. It’s an all-in-one treatment that fights fungus, improves the appearance of your nail, and promotes nail renewal. You can get it without a prescription, but it’s only available through your doctor.
This article will give you an overview of Tolcylen, show you how to use it, and explain how it fits into a complete treatment plan for fungal nail infections.
What is Tolcylen and how does it work?
Tolcylen is a topical treatment that combines several antifungal agents with ingredients that are designed to penetrate the nail bed, soften the nail, and lighten its appearance.
The active ingredient in Tolcylen is tolnaftate 1%. The alcohol in the formula carries the antifungal to the place where it can act on the infection.
Tolcylen also includes nail-renewal ingredients and cosmetic ingredients that, together, penetrate the nail bed and soften and lighten nails.
The Tolcylen delivery vehicle
Tolcylen’s patented delivery system uses a low surface tension to help the medication penetrate the nail. The system is easy to use and helps you control the flow of the solution as you apply it.
How to Apply Tolcylen for Best Results
To get the most out of your Tolcylen Nail Renewal Solution, be sure to apply it correctly. Here’s a quick guide:
Application Instructions:
- Apply a thin layer to the affected nail twice per day.
- Make sure the solution covers the entire nail plate, edges, and under the tip of the nail.
- The solution should dry within two minutes. If it doesn’t, and your toenails are especially thick, you might be using too much, or it may be time to consider better clippers for thick toenails.
Important Considerations:
- Always apply Tolcylen to a bare nail. No nail polish!
- If you wear nail polish, remove it completely before applying Tolcylen.
- You can apply nail polish over Tolcylen once the solution has dried, but again, remove it before your next Tolcylen application.
How well does Tolcylen work?
One of the first clinical studies of Tolcylen showed that over 90% of patients were happy with how much their nails improved over three months. That same study showed a mycological cure rate of about 70%.
The good news is that many people see real changes in their nails after only a few weeks of using Tolcylen.
Keep in mind, though, that the results you get may depend on:
- How damaged your nails are
- How consistently you apply the product
- Other factors
Every person is different, and it can take anywhere from a month to a year to fully renew a nail that’s affected by a fungal infection.
Enhancing toenail fungus treatment
If you’re trying to get rid of toenail fungus, Tolcylen could be a useful tool. But it’s likely to be most effective when you use it as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
There are other therapies you can combine with Tolcylen to boost your chances of getting rid of toenail fungus for good.
Synergistic treatments
Some podiatrists have found that combining Tolcylen with laser treatment (such as the Lunula Laser) and shoe therapy leads to better outcomes for people with toenail fungus.
One podiatrist, Dr. Robert Sullivan in Chicago, reports an “80%-90% success rate” in treating fungal toenails when using a combination of Tolcylen, laser, and shoe therapy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the strongest toenail fungus remover?
Determining the “strongest” toenail fungus remover depends on the individual and the severity of the infection. Prescription oral medications are generally considered the most effective, but they come with potential side effects. Topical solutions, like Tolvere, offer a less invasive approach, but may require longer treatment times and consistent application.
Can I buy tolcylen over the counter?
Whether you can buy “tolcylen” over the counter depends on the specific formulation and the country you’re in. Many topical antifungal treatments are available without a prescription, but it’s always best to check with your local pharmacy or healthcare provider to confirm availability and suitability for your condition.
What is the active ingredient in Tolvere?
The specific active ingredient in Tolvere nail renewal solution should be listed on the product packaging or in the product information leaflet. Common active ingredients in antifungal nail treatments include undecylenic acid, tolnaftate, or clotrimazole. Always refer to the product label for accurate ingredient information.
Does fungal nail renewal work?
The effectiveness of fungal nail renewal solutions varies depending on the severity of the infection, adherence to the treatment regimen, and the specific product used. Topical treatments like Tolvere can be effective for mild to moderate infections, but may take several months of consistent application to see noticeable improvement. Severely infected nails may require prescription treatments for optimal results.
In Closing
Tolcylen Nail Renewal Solution combines an antifungal medication with ingredients designed to renew the appearance of your nails, similar to how a fungi nail ointment works. It also uses a patented delivery system to help it penetrate your nails and get to the source of the problem.
The solution won’t work if you don’t apply it properly, so be sure to follow the instructions, and talk to your doctor about a comprehensive treatment plan for your nail fungus.
Tolcylen is available through podiatrists and other physician clinics, so talk to your doctor to decide if Tolcylen is the right treatment option for you, and schedule a follow-up appointment to check on your progress.
